Which of the following configurations can enable a Dante transmitter to prevent flow exhaustion?

Multicast mode is designed to efficiently manage flow and bandwidth in a network, allowing multiple receivers to access the same audio stream simultaneously without overloading the network. When a Dante transmitter operates in multicast mode, it sends out a single copy of the audio data to a multicast address. This means that the data packet is transmitted only once over the network, while multiple receivers can subscribe to that multicast address to receive the data. This significantly reduces the amount of network traffic compared to unicast, where a separate copy of the data must be sent to each receiver, leading to potential flow exhaustion if the number of receivers is high or if the network is congested.

In contrast, daisy chaining is generally not a practice associated with Dante networks, as it can introduce potential issues with signal integrity and bandwidth limitations. Switching to unicast mode increases the load on the network since multiple streams would be sent separately to each receiver. While increasing the Mbps rating might improve overall network performance, it does not specifically address flow exhaustion resulting from high numbers of unicast streams. Therefore, using multicast mode is the most effective configuration for preventing flow exhaustion in a Dante network.
